If you know me at all, then you know that my love for Tobe Hooper’s 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, runs far and wide. I mean, my dog is named Gunnar if that tells you anything, so it was real treat to be able to speak with Allen …

If you know me, you know that body horror is my jam. I fucking love The Family Cronenberg, The Thing, Society, Slither. Raw… I could go on for hours. I wasn’t sure what to expect with Shell, the new film directed by Max Minghella (Teen Spirit) and written by Jack …

Two things stood out to me about Devin Montgomery’s Monsters Within. One, he wrote, directed, produced, edited, AND starred in the film. Two, his sister, Daniella Montgomery, is also in the film and a huge part of the story. Wow! Talk about ambitious and able to pull it all off. …

Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award nominated, and Splatterpunk Award-winning author Eric LaRocca (The Trees Grew Because I Bled There) is a master at writing vile, violent, visceral horror and that’s what initially drew me to his work. What made me crave more of his stories was the queer …

Brian McAuley’s new book, Breathe In, Bleed Out, hits so many of my favorite marks – isolation horror, a familiar location, both likable and unlikable characters, plus gore, horror, violence… the list goes on and on.
